What types are of jobs are there for Americans who do not speak spanish? Will it be hard to get a job and work permit? What type of pay can I expect? Have a 10 year old son. Are there any bi-lingual schools he can attend until he learns spanish? I am currently married to a Panamanian (seperated). He will assist me with the move but I would still like some other opinions. Thanks any advice will be appreciated.

I am encouraging my children to learn spanish because so many jobs now require you to speak both!
How do you feel should the US continue to have 2 languages? Canada does and other countries....
IT costs alot to teach the spanish kids entering the public school system english and alot of schools dont offer the english kids spanish! but it keeps them from getting jobs.
If Mcdonalds can hire a bilingual teen over one that speaks only english you know who will get hired.

Ive been speaking fluent spanish for a few years now and I would like to know what I can do as far as jobs or social service with a spanish background.

What I was meaning was illegal mexicans that come to America and work 3 jobs and then send all the money they make back to mexican, then expect us to know Spanish. I think you should learn English if you are going to live in america. Sorry if some people don't think English is the offical language of America, but I do. And it is the same for us if we go to another county, we should learn to speak what the majority of the country speaks!!!

And yet Spanish only speaking people are hired. Now that's Discrimination if you ask me. My daughter has been turned down for several jobs in Florida, simply because she doesn't speak spanish. It's simply just wrong! We live in America! Land of the English speaking individuals! We shouldn't have to speak a different language when our national language is ENGLISH! For those who come into this country, they should be required to speak English, and that's all there is to it.

I'm doing an extra credit assignment, and I need to know jobs that would involve being able to speak spanish, like if you need to speak to get hired. I would love it if you could include some websites, and i you could give a short job description. Thanks!

Also in the USA or in Latin America do you have to know both Spanish and English to do certain jobs like nursing?

Many jobs in the City of Los Angeles require one to speak Spanish, but, they cannot refuse you if you do not speak English?

They can refuse to hire you if you cannot speak Spanish, but, cannot refuse to hire you if you cannot speak English.

Where is the ACLU on this?

If you can't speak English, and and don't get hired, it is discrimination. But if you don't speak Spanish, and don't get hired, you can do nothing.

Ok well I'm Puertorican and I was on Omegle the other day and every time I said "hey do you speak Spanish" people freaked and started calling me Mexican and that I should get out of the states because I'm stealing jobs. This is not the first time it has happened when I'm walking in the street I just ask my mom for something in Spanish and people start screaming at us calling us illegal and other stuff I cant say in here.
"Only an American would fault you for speaking another language" ...i never said that, no im not making this up and im from Chicago

I was in Argentina this past month and I totally fell in love with it. I loved the culture, the people, weather, everything. My question is, is their any jobs for an American who can't speak any Spanish in this country? I have a masters degree from a pretty good university here in the states so I'm wondering if its possible for me to teach at a International American University down in BA (Lincoln University). Are these jobs competitive? Any other ideas? Thanks!

PS- I'm a 25 year old male, if that makes a difference.

Can somebody please give me a somewhat brief and short list of careers/jobs/occupations that requires knowledge of the spanish language or the ability to speak this language.

Tnx
